The following are the results State of the Arts survey, that was undertaken in June 2021.

The responses we received from creatives, administrators and enablers across so many different art forms were heartening, deepening our understanding about how this longitudinal survey can start to act as strong advocacy for the sector over time.

The key sector issues that respondents raised were reviewing arts structure funding, fostering financial sustainability for artists, a comprehensive arts sector strategy and arts education.

This survey was run by Dovetail, led by Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi and Toi o Taraika Arts Wellington (supported by Wellington City Council).
